The Six Cello Suites Revisited

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach/Viggo Mangor Genre: Chamber Music Soloists: Toke Moldrup Instruments: Cello Toke Møldrup's virtuosic new set of Bach's six cello suites was recorded on a 1697 David Tecchler cello and culminates with a wildly decorated 6th suite performed on a five-stringed Italian instrument. Møldrup is principal cellist of the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra, and professor of cello at the Royal Danish Academy of Music. The two disc set also includes Viggo Mangor's charming arrangement of Suite no. 1 for two violins, organ and cello. Tracklisting: CD 1 1. Suite I for cello solo in G Major, BWV 1007 - I.
